His Highness looked longingly at Ah Piao who said these words for a long time, almost giving him a fright.
"I think you're right." She stood up and looked at Ah Piao, "You guys wait for me for a while, I'll get something!"
After saying that, she rushed towards the inner room in a hurry. Ah Piao was still thinking about following in, when she heard the sound of rummaging things inside. She retracted her foot that had not yet stepped out, and shook her head helplessly.
After waiting for a while, she came back with two boxes and placed them on the table with a clang.
"Everything from Brother Wang's family is here, including his own and those of the people around him." She looked at Ah Piao and blinked, "Can you still find the files of the so-called core advisers now?"
"Of course, I have sorted them out. There is no problem in finding them." Ah Piao nodded, opened the two boxes, and accurately found eight files with different markings, "These are the people." She spread out the investigation materials on the table, "The owners of these six copies marked with cinnabar are all natives of Yiqing Prefecture. Two of them were the companions of Prince Wanyan when he was a child. Judging from the people they come into contact with and the property in their name, they basically have no contact with those unknown guys outside. The ones who really need to be concerned and need to be studied are actually these two people. Take a look at their information. ." She selected two files marked in green. "I highlighted them at the time, but after checking for a long time, I couldn't find any problems, so I had to give up."
"What is it about these two that makes you care so much?"
"Because they are real outsiders, not from Yiqing Prefecture at all, and their experiences are somewhat similar. They are all students from outside and went to Yiqing Prefecture to take the imperial examination. One of them, a gentleman named Liang, I took the exam for three consecutive years and failed for three years. Another gentleman named Ni took the exam for four consecutive years. In fact, when I took the exam for the third year, I had already passed the exam, but I felt that my ranking was too low, so I prepared with peace of mind. The fourth time, the result..." She shrugged and said regretfully, "I missed again."
"This is also normal. There will be many students who fail repeatedly in every subject." Hei Lu'er sighed softly, "But how did these two failed students get involved with Prince Wanyan? , became the prince’s counselor, and then became the core counselor?”
"As I said just now, the experiences of these two people are somewhat similar. Apart from the fact that they repeatedly failed in the exams, another point is that they came from poor families. After entering Yiqing Mansion, they defected to the prince's family. Under the sect." Ah Piao looked at His Highness, "I wonder if His Highness still remembers that during the imperial examinations, the prince would always fund and rent several inns specifically for students from poor backgrounds to live in, and would also provide a room every day. Three meals a day, these are free of charge, just for them to prepare well and concentrate on the exam. Moreover, the prince also said that if you fail in one subject and want to work hard for the next subject, you can continue to live in the inn . However, it is possible to continue living, but you need to collect some symbolic money, but it is also very small. If there are students who cannot find opportunities to make money, the prince will also provide them, such as going to his house to copy books and so on. . And these two people, Mr. Liang and Mr. Ni, finally stayed with the prince through this method. When they stayed with the prince, one was twenty-three years old, the other was twenty-one, and the other The prince was only nineteen years old at that time."
"Everyone, here comes the key point." His Highness lightly knocked on the table, "When Brother Wang was nineteen years old, he encountered a big event."
"That's right!" Ah Piao nodded lightly, "Prince Wanyan was assassinated when he was nineteen years old, and these two gentlemen..." She patted the two files that were specially popped up, "One after another. I blocked the sword for the prince and almost lost my life."
"What's going on?" Hei Lu'er and Ah Rou looked at each other. If His Highness hadn't started chatting with Ah Piao, they wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened. "It's understandable to be assassinated. Every one of the Wanyan family members has a title or an official position. Those who haven't experienced this, basically none. But why do you still block the sword for the prince one after another? The prince has encountered him twice? "
"To put it simply, there was a dinner in the palace that day. After the scheduled watch, the prince came out of the palace. When passing through the Royal Street, he encountered two assassinations of varying degrees. The first time..."
"Ah Piao! Ah Piao!" His Highness patted Ah Piao's arm, "Three times, three times!" She stretched out her fingers and started counting, "The first time was just after leaving the palace gate, not far from the palace gate, from the diagonal rear An arrow shot over hit the sedan roof directly."
"Oh!" Ah Piao patted her forehead, "I completely forgot about this. It happened once. The second time was in the middle of Royal Street, when a dozen assassins rushed towards the prince's sedan chair. This time The wave of attacks was repelled by the guards around the prince. Those assassins were not willing to fight. After finding that they could not succeed, they retreated, leaving no chance for the prince to take prisoners. "
"The third time was when we were approaching the gate of the palace. This time there were many assassins, as many as a hundred." His Highness sighed, "Actually, I feel that they are not trying to assassinate Brother Wang at all, but to kill Brother Wang." Brother Wang was taken away. But they found that they could not take away Brother Wang, so they wanted to get rid of him completely." She sighed again, "I don't know where Brother Wang offended anyone."
"Weren't these assassins caught later?"
"Caught, there is no one alive." A Piao sighed, "There are not many guards around the prince, and the force is not particularly strong, but the other party is obviously ready to come, and will not give up until the goal is achieved. The prince saw it In this posture, while sending people back to the palace to ask for reinforcements, they also sent people to the palace to report the news, and took the remaining people to bravely face the enemy. Because it was not far from the palace, the reinforcements from the palace came the fastest. But when the reinforcements arrived, there was no one around the prince. Seeing that the assassin's knife was about to hit the prince, Mr. Liang, who was leading the people, rushed forward and blocked the knife for the prince, but the prince There was no one protecting her, and there were assassins about to attack. Mr. Ni, who was following closely, also rushed forward. As a result..." She spread her hands, "Two people blocked the knife for the prince one after the other, and the prince took note of it. I received this life-saving grace. Because the situation was so chaotic at the time, after repelling the assassins, and worrying about the prince's situation, no one noticed anything." She knocked on the table lightly, "Bring people to support the prince, why? Are you going to let two helpless counselors take the lead?"
